Ethiopian Airlines

I believe this was the only lounge in Mombasa airport. I was able to use ith with my Ethiopian Airlines Business class ticket. Its not comparable to a European or international lounge but I was happy to get into an airconditioned room, because early afternoon at Mombasa airport is not a very pleasant experience. There is basic stuff like drinks and some sandwiches. I believe I was only able to connect to the internet for 15 min.

There are two Ethiopian Airlines Cloud 9 lounges available for travelers to use. One for Star Alliance Gold and above members was the one that I used. The other is for the business class passengers. I went in to the lounge around 7:00am, it was already crowded. The cleanliness needs to be improved and maybe there were too many users but the quality of food wasn't satisfactory and even though the food stall was empty staff members of ET didn't seem to care to refill them quickly. The floor was dirty and the bathroom was dirty. Overall, I would not recommend to use the lounge if it is possible.

A large, well maintained lounge. There appears to be two lounges in Addis Ababa- this was Lounge 2 - and though very busy, it was comfortable and clean. A good selection of hot and cold dishes were available as well as alcohol at the bar. Wifi was fast. The toilets were regularly cleaned, and were adequate. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Packed and only mediocre service and food. Actually there is a better service and atmosphere outside in the ordinary restaurant and sitting in the main airport departure hall.

Welcome is sometimes friendly but not always. Nice view of airport apron. Plenty of drinks served at bar but this can create a queue of waiting customers. Food choice not great. Wifi works well and showers and toilets available. This place is still better then just waiting in airport bar before boarding your plane.

Same feeling and look as rest of this airport. Old scrummy over crowded lounge. Bad seating and poorly working wifi. Dirty toilets have not noticed if they have showers. Food quality average and drinks serve your self to the plastic cups. Tasteless coffee and this for a country growing it own and having a coffee culture. Entering the lounge one of these other things that should be taken care of as verry messy. All be it still better to stay in this lounge and drink lousy coffee for free then having to pay 6 usd cash only for a very poor espresso in airport coffee shop.

Lounge has been remade and upgraded ab 6 months ago. Lounge looks already now as if needs another remake. Food and drinks same as before, nothing special to even very boring, end of very poor quality. Food display also with no concern of hygiene. Reception in lounge professional and fast if no passenger in front of you negotiating the price he has to pay or points he has the submit on one of his credit cards to be able to enter the lounge.

The lounge is easy to find. When you come up from the arrivals to the second floor there is a big sign advertising Cloud Nine. Staff friendly and make announcements for departing flights. Wifi connection worked fine once you get the password. There is a paucity of magazines. This lounge main problem is overcrowding and cleanliness of the bathrooms. There is water all over the bathroom floor and unlike EBB's Karibuni Lounge there did not appear to be an attendant who would clean and/or mop the bathrooms at regular intervals. Didn't try the food so no comment. The lounge has an open ceiling so one can hear all the commotion and noise from the main terminal building. I thought lounges are supposed to be oasis of calm. Despite all its faults the lounge is a better alternative than using facilities in the terminal building.

Old seats from many years ago. Food choice ok all served on disposable plates with plastic knives and forks. Drinks - beer soft drinks and coffee. Lounge has no wifi one tv and is not really clean but better then having no lounge access. Lounge should improve even if it was only by providing free wifi.

Severely overcrowded: not a seat to be had. Apparently a flight to China was leaving about the same time as that to Washington DC as most of the people in the lounge were Chinese. Drinks and food good with a variety of western and Ethiopian dishes. Only three computers always busy.
